Wireless settings cannot be changed

The FRITZ!Box's wireless settings cannot be changed. This means that you cannot save a new wireless key or disable the MAC address filter, for example. When you click "Apply", the previous settings are displayed again.

Cause

The web browser settings are preventing a pop-up window from appearing in which the changed settings are displayed so they can be printed. The FRITZ!Box does not save the new settings for security reasons.

1 Adjusting the web browser settings

Configure an exception for the FRITZ!Box in your web browser's pop-up blocker:

Click "Settings" and then "Extensions".

Enter fritz.box as an exception and close the "Extensions" window.

Mozilla Firefox

Click the (Open menu) button on the top right of Firefox.

Click "Options”.
